Thank you. That right there explains why the affiliate model will not die. There's NO RISK to the program owner by having an affiliate work for them, beauty part of it all is that since your the owner, you control the content.
TeenRevenue is a good example - you can use promo content in the promo area/zip area all you want, but get caught using member side content and your cut off. No exceptions.
The people that keep wishing the affiliate model will die are those who are so greedy they want to BE the affiliate and program owner at the same time. There are some programs like that out there, and i've outlived some of them already.
It's good business to build partnerships any way you can. Period.
